北海道旭川発祥。 日本の味をそのままに、口にした瞬間やさしい味わいが広がり、少したつと深いコクと旨味に変わる。 独自の製法で試行錯誤を繰り返し、改良を重ねてたどり着いた豚骨白湯スープは、最後の一滴まで美味しく飲める、まろやかでやさしい味。やさしい味わいのスープに仕上げるために、長い時間をかけて豚骨を煮出し、出来上がった白いスープは、旨みと香りを大切にしたいという想いから、再沸騰させることはいたしません。そのため、熱々には感じられないかもしれませんが、お子様からお年寄りまで安心して美味しくお召し上がりいただける温度帯であると考えております。 創業当時からの精神を受け継ぎ、世界中の人々から末永く愛されるらーめん店を目指して、これからも変わらぬ味をお届けして参ります。
Japan-born chain serving traditional ramen in a no-frills setting with limited seating.

I’ve visited this grocery store several times (out of towner and only visit Cali once a year), but this is my first time trying Hokkaido Ramen. I kept my expectations low, since this is located in a food court, but I was surprised by the layer of flavors I could taste in this bowl of spicy ramen. By the way, THIS is the regular size, so I’m so glad I didn’t get the large size.
I liked that the toppings were served separately from the noodles and the broth. I could either dunk them in the soup before my bite, or eat them as is. The half boiled egg was soooo good with the spicy soup though!!! My tummy is so satisfied!
Granted it was a Saturday in the middle of the lunch rush, the wait was only 10 minutes. I’m so glad I made the right choice. FYI I was given a buzzer so I didn’t mind that my seat was on the opposite side of the food court.

I think shio (salt) ramen at Ramen Santoka is the best ramen I’ve ever had!
Due to the nature of the food, if the pork bones are not properly boiled, it is difficult to eat because of the unpleasant smell of pork, but so far, all ramens I’ve had at Ramen Santoka didn’t have bad smell.
And ramen broth is not greasy. It boasts a clean taste.
The mentaiko gohan eaten with shio ramen is an unstoppable taste as the scrambled egg on top of steamed white rice and the salty mentaiko combine well.

Santouka is a ramen shop located inside Mitsuwa Marketplace’s food court in Costa Mesa.
I’ve only had their Charsiu Shio/Shoyu (I can’t remember the full name) Ramen and it’s the same thing I order when I come here. Compared to other ramen locations, the price is affordable. It comes with about 3 pieces of charsiu (chashu pork), woodear mushrooms, green onions, sesame seeds, narutomaki, and some red berry (?) – at first glance I thought it was a mini tomato.
Seating is centralized in the food court but, during busy hours, you have to be quick to find a table and snag it right away.
Anyway, the ramen at Santouka is delicious and it keeps me coming back.

Santouka Ramen is hands down one of the best ramen spots you’ll find inside Mitsuwa Marketplace. Their signature Shio Ramen with Toroniku pork cheek is simply outstanding—rich, creamy broth that’s perfectly balanced and never overwhelming, paired with chewy noodles cooked just right. The Toroniku pork is unbelievably tender and flavorful, melting in your mouth with every bite.
What I love most is that the ramen is not spicy, making it a comforting bowl that everyone in the family can enjoy. Portions are generous, and if you grab the combo with a rice bowl on the side, it feels like a complete, satisfying meal. The Takoyaki was also delicious—crispy on the outside, soft inside, and topped with the perfect sauce and bonito flakes, making it the perfect side dish to the ramen.
The consistency here is impressive—every visit tastes just as good as the last. If you’re at Mitsuwa and craving authentic Japanese ramen, Santouka is a must-try, five-star experience.

Same flavorful taste as always except for the price of egg increased to $2/each, thanks to the high inflation lol.

Located in Mitsuwa markets food court is home to Hokkaido style ramen. They specialize in Shio(Salt) ramen and offer different sizes from small for amateurs who have small appetites to large for the pros. This trip I opted for a spicy large shio ramen with pork cheek.
The broth is rich, fatty and rich and hint of buttery richness. I highly recommend this place.

Santouka is one of the better ramen options in the OC area. Most of the good ramen are options are closer to downtown LA, so it’s nice to have something closer for folks in the OC and surrounding areas.
I always order the large spicy miso ramen with extra char siu ($15.95) with a side char-siu rice bowl ($6). Its enough to split between two people if you aren’t super hungry. I enjoy the noodle quality and broth of the ramen. There are many different options and deals that they offer.
This location is always a little chaotic to get into and out of. I recommend going during off-hours because the food court always has hordes of people in it.

Remember to count your change and check your receipts here!!! I paid for two bowls of ramen and they charged me for a third bowel and gave me wrong amount of change. I was missing 45$! The good is amazing but the new worker did not know how to make a proper transaction. Never going back to this location

4.5 stars. I thought it was solid. The menu is simple, there are four different kinds of soup base for you to choose: they are soy sauce (shoyu), salt (shio), soybean paste (aka miso) and spicy miso. Also, you can choose the portion size, which are small, regular (medium) and large. Also, if you like variety, there are a few combos for you to choose from.
I honestly loved their bone broth and char siu pork belly, the broth was super rich and flavorful, and the char siu was tender and melt-in-your-mouth. Ramen was al dente. The biggest downside would be the portion size, it was probably the smallest medium I’ve ever had. Would recommend to upgrade to large or a combo if you have a big appetite. Another con would be the eggs, ramen egg is known for its custardy jammy egg yolk, but unfortunately, the eggs here are not soft-boiled. They tasted like normal hard boiled eggs.
Some may think their bone broth is a tad salty, which I also agree, but I feel like they’ve adjusted the saltiness to the local tastes already. They also have simmered pork jowl, which is also a very good dish w/ a good layer of fat, would recommend to give it a try as well. Overall, it is a delicious ramen place!

The ramen here is really good. The food court is always crowded especially during weekends and it is a little tricky to get a table. But the food is all worth it.
